Chirimen Floral Bead Necklace
Every bead a different floral — cherry blossom, chrysanthemum, indigo scrollwork — collected until there were enough to make one necklace and no more. Gold-tone clasp with an extender chain.
Indigo Silk Bead Necklace
Indigo silk gathered over a strand of round beads, deep enough to read almost black until the light finds it.
The Fernwood Silk Bracelet
Navy silk over beads, mixed with red and white florals and a few bandhani dots, tied off with a ribbon bow. The wrist version of the Fernwood necklace, made from the same run of cloth.
Indigo Bloom Silk Drop Earrings
Two silk offcuts gathered over a bead and capped in silver, hung from a hand-turned hook. The floral is whatever the cloth was before it was this — no two pairs carry the same fragment of print.
Crochet Bead Drop Earrings
Cotton thread crocheted over a round core until the stitch itself becomes the surface, finished with a filigree cap. Madder red, worked tight enough to hold its shape for years.
Marigold Silk Drop Earrings
Marigold silk drawn over a bead and set under a domed filigree cap. The leaf and blossom running across the cloth are cut from a larger print, so each side of the pair reads a little differently.
Tangerine Silk Drop Earrings
Printed silk gathered over a bead, with the thread wrap at the crown left visible rather than hidden — the join is part of how the piece is made, so it is shown.
Ivory Embroidered Drop Earrings
Ivory cloth with a small embroidered sprig, gathered over a bead and finished in gold-tone petals above and below. The quietest pair in the run, and the one that goes with everything.
Bandhani Dot Bead Necklace
Navy bandhani wrapped over round beads so the tied dots fall across the strand, closed with a loop and a single long bead. The white specks are resist dye, not print — each one was tied off by hand before the cloth went in.
The Fernwood Silk Necklace
Silk in fern and moss greens gathered over beads and tied with a wide ribbon of the same cloth. The bow is the fastening — pull it tight to the throat or let it sit long.
